The Blues also saw Nemanja Matic sent off as well as coach Silvino Louro and manager Jose Mourinho in what has since been described by pundits such as Alan Shearer as an 'embarrassing meltdown', as reported by the Daily Mail.

"Following the game between West Ham United and Chelsea on Saturday, The FA has taken the following disciplinary action," the statement reads on thefa.com.

"Jose Mourinho has been charged with misconduct in relation to his language and/or behaviour towards the match officials in or around the dressing room area at half-time.

"Chelsea coach Silvino Louro has also been charged with misconduct in relation to his behaviour which led to his 45th minute dismissal from the technical area.

"West Ham have been charged for failing to control their players in the 44th minute of the game and Chelsea have also been charged with the same offence for an alleged breach in the 45th minute of the game.
